Nervous Energy
My spring break technically begins tomorrow when I get out of class at 2:30, but I'm not terribly excited--not yet. I have all of this nervous energy, and I'm worried about things that need to be done.
The two biggest things on my mind are the paper I'll get back in class tomorrow and my project for Mark Twain (not yet due, finished, or begun). I will feel better tomorrow afternoon after the paper is returned to me.
Still, over break I need to study psychology for my second exam on the 18th, write a news feature for my journalism class, work on that Mark Twain project, and tidy up the apartment for when Leon's family visits the following week.
I also feel incredibly guilty that I'll have to miss my journalism class on the Monday following spring break, because Leon and I had no choice but to make really crappy flight plans.
Basically, my spring break is shaping up to look something like this:
3/4 -- Spend one last evening with Caroline.
3/5 -- Clean up general clutter in the apartment.
3/6 -- Read for psychology.
3/7 -- Write news feature.
3/8 -- Go to the library to work on Mark Twain project.
3/9 -- Take Louis home so my parents can watch him.
3/10 -- Pack and finish cleaning?
3/11 -- Leave for San Francisco.
3/15 -- Arrive home from San Francisco and get back to class.
Stretched out like that, it doesn't seem so bad. But we all know that I'm not going to be so productive. I'm so worried about getting everything done so I can graduate and I fear that I've already begun to look like a slacker to my professors (when they haven't even seen the worst of it). I mean, I've already missed journalism and I'm going to have to miss it again. Plus, I basically need to write to the TA or professor of Mark Twain and say, "Hey! Haven't been in class! What exactly is the deal with this project we're supposed to be working on?" Classic. I'd ask Colin about this but neither of us has seen each other in that class for five weeks now, so I don't even know if he's taking it. Plus he never really gave me much of a response last time. To e-mail him for assignment details would be to humble myself for no reason at all.
I need to get back on the horse and finish this semester properly. I guess that spring break is as good a time as any to realize this.
Work, work, work!
